What is INASP?From the INASP website: "The International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP) is a development charity that has been working to enhance worldwide access to information since 1992. Our vision is that all people are able to access and contribute information, ideas and knowledge necessary for sustainable and equitable development. We work in partnership with individuals and organizations (both international and in-country) to facilitate access to information, to build skills in using, managing and producing information, and to encourage networking and the sharing of knowledge and resources. To achieve our goals, we produce print and online resources, we design and assist training workshops, we negotiate for preferential online access to scholarly information, and we undertake research and provide information and advice on all information-for-development issues."INASP Website
